Chapter 9: The Puzzle (2)
"I dreamed last night that we were going back to the mountain, and the master said that he wanted to teach me a new martial art, guess what martial arts it was?" "How do I know, let's talk about it." "I've always disliked other people's selling guanzi, but Yuan Zhao is always keen to sell guanzi.
"Saying it will make you laugh to death, Master wants to teach me the kung fu of breaking boulders in my chest, hahahaha. As soon as Yuan Zhao finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing. I laughed dryly, "Please, what's so funny." "I don't really hear anything funny.
Yuan Zhaoqiang couldn't help but smile and waved his hand at me and said, "Listen to me, Master took me to the back mountain, put a round stone on my chest, and let me lie on the ground, he wants to show me first." "When I heard this, I suddenly understood something. "But Master just walked around me, but he didn't start, I was tired from the stone, so I kept asking Master, Master, why don't you do it, Master, and Master replied that I would wait. β
"You just slept all night with that rock on top of it?" I asked hesitantly. "Well, then suddenly the stone and the master were gone. "And later?" I asked. "Well, how about it, funny?" I smiled politely, thinking to myself if it would be funnier if you knew that the round rock you were carrying last night was my head.
"Actually, I've wanted to smash that stone with one palm several times, I'm so tired from topping!" Yuan Zhao's cold words startled me. Obediently, with the power of his palm, if I were to be given a palm, wouldn't my head be going to bloom?
"Then, why didn't you do it?" I asked, with trepidation. "Don't dare, think about it, the master is standing next to me, if I split that stone, wouldn't it be a rebellion!" I didn't think that the old man saved me in a dream, I always looked down on Yuan Zhao and always put the old man first in everything, and now it is not useless to do so.
"Senior sister, tell me about your dreams. "Yuan Zhao's curiosity is really strong. I was just thinking about the rest of my life after the catastrophe, how could I be in the mood to tell him a story, so I told him about my dreams in general.
After hearing this, Yuan Zhao stretched his waist and said, "Isn't it just thirsty, and there is nothing new in dreaming of it." After speaking, he patted his stomach and said to me, "Senior sister, I'm hungry, are you hungry?"
Seeing that I felt the same way, Yuan Zhao pointed to the plate on the table and said, "Senior sister, you send such utensils back to the restaurant on East Street, and by the way, buy some more and come back early to eat." "Why me?" I found that Yuan Zhao was becoming more and more unkind to me now, and he could instruct me to work. "Ouch, I drank too much last night, and my head still hurts! Senior sister is not drunk, there is Senior Sister Lao. Yuan Zhao leaned back on the bed with a grin and looked at me with a straight look.
Now my heart was full of grief and indignation, and I packed all the utensils on the table into a basket with grief and indignation, and went out in grief.
"Boss, return the plates!" Because it was early in the morning, the lobby of the restaurant was empty, and even the shopkeeper didn't know where to go. "Come onβ" I was hesitating whether to go back first, when the shopkeeper ran in from the back room. "Guest officer, how good is the food?" Xiao Er took the basket and asked earnestly. "It's okay. I coped weakly.
"You haven't finished drinking this wine?" Xiao Er shook as he cleaned up the flask, and there was a sound of wine shaking inside. "Don't mention it, the wine in your store is really intoxicating, I still feel dizzy now!"
"No, we're the least intoxicating of alcohol. Xiao Er looked very innocent. "Come on," I interrupted him angrily, "we're both almost drunk!" Xiao Er seemed to think of something, and suddenly sighed with a sense of enlightenment.
"Why, do you dislike our small amount of alcohol?" "How dare you," Xiao Er flatly denied my conjecture and replied, "I think I guessed the reason why the guest officer was drunk." "What is the reason?" Could it be that there is some mystery in the wine, Xiao Er's words aroused my interest. Xiao Er took the wine jug and said to me, "Guest officer, this kind of wine is brewed by our restaurant itself, and it uses japonica rice produced locally in Gangneung, and the taste is fragrant and not intoxicating. β
"Then why are we drunk?" "Did you two blow the wind when you were drinking?" "Blowing the wind?" I vaguely remember that I seemed to have opened the window last night to get some air, so I nodded. "That's right," Xiao Er patted his thigh and said to me: "If this wine is usually drunk, it will never be intoxicating, but if it is drunk for half an hour, it will definitely be drunk like mud. After listening to Xiao Er's explanation, I realized that we were really not wronged when we were drunk this time.
"Do you have any early orders in the store?" My stomach was rumbling with hunger by now, and I needed something to eat. "There are all kinds of flavored pastries in this restaurant, all of which were just baked this morning, and the guest can buy them and try them. Seeing that I was going to buy something again, Xiao Er hurriedly put down the work in his hand and led me to the workshop in the back hall, I went in to take a look, heh, there are really a lot of types. "Give me two servings. β
"Okay!" Xiao Er happily took out a thick piece of paper from the door, wrapped a few of each pastry for me, and handed it to me courteously. "Guest, count you in for a penny. "I dug into my pocket and realized that I was in a hurry to go out just now, and I actually forgot to bring money. "Xiao Er, I'll send it to you later, I'm in too much of a hurry to go out, and I forgot to bring money. "Hey, hey, this one, no. Xiao Er scratched his head as if he was embarrassed. "What, are you still afraid that I will eat the overlord meal? I live in the Hongfu Post House in the west, and I can't run. "I thought as I spoke, for a mere penny, as for it?
"It's because the guest officer is here to compete, so we can't take credit. "Xiao Er's words completely annoyed me, I didn't think that there was regional discrimination in ancient times. "What's the matter? Look down on outsiders?" "Guest officer, villain doesn't mean that," Xiao Er was not annoyed at all, and still looked like he was smiling: "I won't tell you anything, the people who come to participate in the competition are all powerful characters in the rivers and lakes, and they are busy all day long." Our small shop is just a small business, if it is sold on credit to you, you are too busy to forget, we have no choice, maybe we will be beaten, so... Hehehe"
No way, I had to go back to get the money, Yuan Zhao was still lying on the bed, hanging Erlang's legs, looking very comfortable, seeing that I was back, he immediately sat up and asked, "What about earlier?" "I forgot to bring the money." I said as I walked over to the table and picked up my little purse. "Then why don't you buy it back first, and then send the money later?" "Okay!" I roared at the chattering Yuan Zhao: "It's not that you hooligans eat the overlord meal, and the aunt and grandmother who hurt you have to run away again!"
When I came back, it was already dawn, and the pedestrians on the street gradually increased, so I took the breakfast in my hand and staggered back to the post house, only to find that the post house was full of people at the door, many of them were leading horses, and a piece of paper full of words was pasted on the wall. Curious, I leaned forward to find out.
